NTSB-2

SYSTEM NAME:
    Official Personnel Folders.

SYSTEM LOCATION:
    Records on current Federal employees are located within the 
employing agency. Records maintained in paper may also be located at 
OPM or with personnel officers, or at other designated offices of local 
installations of the department or agency that employs the individual. 
When agencies determine that duplicates of these records need to be 
located in a second office, e.g., an administrative office closer to 
where the employee actually works, such copies are covered by this 
system. Some agencies have employed the Enterprise Human Resource 
Integration (EHRI) data system to store their records electronically. 
Although stored in EHRI, agencies are still responsible for the 
maintenance of their records. Former Federal employees' paper Official 
Personnel Folders (OPFs) are located at the National Personnel Records 
Center, National Archives and Records Administration (NARA), 111 
Winnebago Street, St. Louis, Missouri 63118. Former Federal employees' 
electronic Official Personnel Folders (eOPF) are located in the EHRI 
data system that is administered by NARA.

CATEGORIES OF INDIVIDUALS COVERED BY THE SYSTEM:
    Current and certain former NTSB employees.

CATEGORIES OF RECORDS IN THE SYSTEM:
    Records include employee's name, Social Security number, date of 
birth, home address, home telephone number, and specialized education. 
Records reflect Federal service and work experience, including past and 
present positions held, grades, salaries, duty station locations, and 
notices of all personnel actions, such as appointments, promotions, 
reassignments, demotions, details, transfers, reductions-in-force, 
resignations, retirements, removal, and suspensions. Records also 
include information concerning election and/or waiver of Federal 
benefits, including employees' designation of beneficiaries for these 
and other programs.

AUTHORITY FOR MAINTENANCE OF THE SYSTEM:
    5 U.S.C. 301 et seq., 1302, 2951, 3301, 4118, 8347; 5 CFR part 293; 
Executive Order Nos. 9,397, 9,830, and 12,107.

PURPOSE(S):
    The OPF, which may exist in various approved media, and other 
general personnel records files, is the official repository of the 
records, reports of personnel actions, and the documentation required 
in connection with these actions affected during an employee's Federal 
service. The personnel action reports and other documents, some of 
which are filed in the OPF, give legal force and effect to

[[Page 62061]]

personnel transactions and establish employee rights and benefits under 
pertinent laws and regulations governing Federal employment. These 
files and records are maintained by OPM and agencies in accordance with 
OPM regulations and instructions. They provide the basic source of 
factual data about a person's Federal employment while in the service 
and after his or her separation. Records in this system have various 
uses by agency personnel offices, including screening qualifications of 
employees; determining status, eligibility, and employee's rights and 
benefits under pertinent laws and regulations governing Federal 
employment; computing length of service; and other information needed 
to provide personnel services. These records may also be used to locate 
individuals for personnel research.

ROUTINE USES OF RECORDS MAINTAINED IN THE SYSTEM, INCLUDING CATEGORIES 
OF USERS, AND THE PURPOSES OF SUCH USES:
    The OPF, which may exist in various approved media, and other 
general personnel records files, is the official repository of the 
records, reports of personnel actions, and the documentation required 
in connection with these actions affected during an employee's Federal 
service. The personnel action reports and other documents, some of 
which are filed in the OPF, give legal force and effect to personnel 
transactions and establish employee rights and benefits under pertinent 
laws and regulations governing Federal employment. These files and 
records are maintained by OPM and agencies in accordance with OPM 
regulations and instructions. They provide the basic source of factual 
data about a person's Federal employment while in the service and after 
his or her separation. Records in this system have various uses by

    None.

POLICIES AND PRACTICES FOR STORING, RETRIEVING, ACCESSING, RETAINING, 
AND DISPOSING OF RECORDS IN THE SYSTEM STORAGE:
    These records are maintained in file folders, on lists and forms, 
microfilm or microfiche, and in computer processable storage media such 
as personnel system databases, PDF forms and data warehouse systems.

RETRIEVABILITY:
    These records are retrieved by the name, Social Security number, or 
date of birth of the individuals about whom they concern.

SAFEGUARDS:
    Paper or microfiche/microfilmed records are located in locked metal 
file cabinets or in secured rooms with access limited to those 
personnel whose official duties require access. Access to computerized 
records is limited, through use of user logins and passwords, access 
codes, and entry logs, to those whose official duties require access. 
Access to and use of these records is limited to those persons whose 
official duties require such access, and the Facility Security Access 
Control System (NTSB-24) logs the date and time that each electronic 
keycard was used to enter the location.
    This system conforms to all applicable Federal laws and 
regulations, as well as NTSB policies and standards, as they relate to 
information security and data privacy. In this regard, the following

Information Security Management Act of 2002; the Computer Fraud and 
Abuse Act of 1986; the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability 
Act of 1996; the E-Government Act of 2002; and corresponding 
regulations implementing these statutes.

RETENTION AND DISPOSAL:
    The NTSB maintains records within this system for the period of the 
employee's service at the NTSB. When an employee leaves the NTSB to 
begin employment at another Federal agency, the NTSB transfers these 
records to the employee's new Federal agency. When an employee retires, 
resigns, or dies, the NTSB forwards the employee's record to the 
National Personnel Records Center for permanent storage, in accordance 
with General Records Schedule 1, item 1.

A. Disclosure for Law Enforcement Purposes

    When information indicates a violation or potential violation of 
law, whether civil, criminal or regulatory in nature, and whether 
arising by general statute or particular program statute, or by 
regulation, rule, or order issued pursuant thereto, disclosure may 
be made to the appropriate agency, whether Federal, foreign, State, 
local, or tribal, or other public authority responsible for 
enforcing, investigating or prosecuting such violation or charged 
with enforcing or implementing the statute, rule, regulation, or 
order issued pursuant thereto, if the information disclosed is 
relevant to any enforcement, regulatory, investigative or 
prosecutive responsibility of the receiving entity.

B. Disclosure Incident to Requesting Information

    Information may be disclosed to any source from which additional 
information is requested (to the extent necessary to identify the

contract, or the issuance or retention of a license, grant, or other 
benefit. The other agency or licensing organization may then make a 
request supported by the written consent of the individual for the 
entire record if it so chooses. No disclosure will be made unless 
the information has been determined to be sufficiently reliable to 
support a referral to another office within the agency or to another 
Federal agency for criminal, civil, administrative, personnel, or 
regulatory action.
